Essay: "Dancing with Censorship", Part 5 of Several

Essay: "Dancing with Censorship", Part 5 of 5

       These alleged morality groups, who are anything but moral, are so persistent that bookstores and certain publishers filed a Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) lawsuit against one such group, and the American Publisher's Association paid for an ad urging American's to support First Amendment rights. The advertisement, which appeared in many newspapers nationwide read:
       "I agree. Americans have the right to buy, stores have the right to sell, authors have the right to write, and publishers have the right to publish Constitutionally protected material. Period."
 I couldn't say it better myself.  Please support that right. Heed the message. Don't allow a small minority of religious fanatics and prudes dictate what you can or cannot buy, sell, read, write, look at, listen to, think, do, etc.
